What's the difference between Japanese Judo and China Taiji?

Tai Ji Chuan has a unique style and distinctive features in attack and defense. It requires static braking, combining rigidity and softness, avoiding reality and being empty, leveraging strength, and advocating that everything should be carried out objectively, coexist with others, and be dull. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan pays special attention to "listening", that is, accurately feeling and judging each other's arrival, so as to respond. Don't get ahead before the other party starts. You can use tricks to induce the other party to test its reality first. This term is called "the leading hand". Once the opponent starts, you should quickly get ahead of him, "he didn't move, he moved first" and "the latecomers came first", which will drag the opponent in, make him lose weight, or distract his strength, take advantage and fight back with all his might. Tai Ji Chuan's principle of attack and defense is embodied in the training of pushing hands and routine movements, which can not only train people's physical qualities such as reaction ability, strength and speed, but also has very important significance in the training of attack and defense fighting.

Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense methods all follow the principle of Yin and Yang, and the main attack and defense process is "induced compound development". In Wushu, we can perceive the strength and direction of the opponent's coming force by listening, and "change the way with the trend" to induce the future force and then exert it.

Tai Ji Chuan's eight forces: flexion (for resolving or Qi Xin's concerted attack), sliding (for taking advantage of backward attraction), squeezing (footwall bending), pressing (footwall bending or anti-joint grip) and pulling (combining the opponent's strength with force or grip). Their fighting is a combination of boxing and wrestling. Since then, some people have absorbed wrestling techniques and developed into the present sumo sport; Others summed up the fighting experience and developed it into Jiu Jitsu, and then evolved into judo. Judo's attack and defense techniques are divided into throwing techniques (standing techniques), sleeping techniques (tumbling and wrestling techniques when falling to the ground), self-defense and self-defense against opponents. At present, personal skills are no longer allowed in judo competitions.

Vertical skills are divided into vertical skills (throwing skills that can't stand up) and sacrificial skills that fall to the ground actively. Vertical techniques are divided into: ① hand techniques, mainly using arm techniques. Such as "floating down", that is, pulling each other down with both hands; 2 waist skills, mainly using the back to throw each other down. Such as "big waist", that is, holding each other's trunk and falling on their backs; (3) Feet method, which mainly uses legs and feet to throw the other side down. For example, "inner drum" means picking up your opponent with your legs and falling down, and "sweeping your feet" means kicking him down with your feet. Sacrificial skills are divided into true sacrificial skills and horizontal sacrificial skills. The real sacrifice skill is that the performer falls down on his own initiative, lands on his back and subdues his opponent. For example, "Bart" means that the performer falls backwards first, hugs each other with both hands, and steps on each other's abdomen, so that the subject rolls over the performer and falls on the mat. The technique of flat sacrifice means that the performer bends over first, and then throws his opponent down, such as "floating down".

Sleeping posture skills are divided into solid skills, twisting skills and joint skills. Fixation is to press the opponent's back on the mat so that he can't escape, while the performer keeps free movement. If the performer's legs are caught by the opponent's legs, it is not considered that the use of fixed skills is successful. For example, the performer kneels on the receiver's side in supine position and holds him down. Wrestling technique is that two people fall on the mat, strangle each other with their arms or judo suits and give up (represented by slapping the mat). The skill of joint is to pour on the mat, make the elbow joint ache hard and give up. Joint skills can only be applied to the elbow joint.
